Atlanta, Gwinnett, & Surrounding Areas Newborn, Maternity, & Children’s Photography

Meet Your Photographers

Hi there—we’re Ariel & Darrell, the husband-and-wife team behind Phoenix Productions ATL.

What started as a passion quickly became something so much bigger. Over the years, photography has grown from a dream into a purpose—one rooted in connection, storytelling, and preserving the moments that matter most.

Together, we don’t just take photos—we create experiences.

More Than Just Photos

At Phoenix Productions ATL, we specialize in capturing life’s most meaningful milestones – from engagement and maternity to newborns, birthdays, and family portraits… and now, full-scale events.

But what truly sets us apart isn’t just what we capture – it’s how we make you feel while we’re doing it.

We believe your session should feel:

Relaxed
Intentional
Personal
And fun too!

Because the best images don’t come from perfection, they come from presence.

Our Heart Behind It All

Our journey into parenthood wasn’t easy.

It was long. It was emotional. And at times, it was deeply painful.

But that experience changed everything for us.

It’s the reason we don’t take these moments lightly.
It’s why we understand just how meaningful each season of life truly is.
And it’s why we approach every session and every event with so much care.

Because we know firsthand… Moments pass quickly. But the memories we preserve? Those last forever.

Our Approach

When you work with us, you’re not just booking a photographer – you’re gaining a team.

A team that:

Helps you plan your vision
Guides you through your session
Pays attention to the details
And makes sure you walk away with something you truly love

From our studio in Riverdale to outdoor locations and in-home sessions, we create a space where you can show up fully – and trust that we’ve got everything covered.

A Little More About Us

When we’re not behind the camera or planning our next creative setup, you’ll probably find us:

Grabbing Starbucks (because… always ☕)
Reading (Ariel is definitely the book lover 📚)
Playing The Sims
Or spending time with our daughter, Abi

Family is at the center of everything we do – and it’s the heart behind why we love serving yours.

Let’s Create Something Beautiful

We would be truly honored to be a part of your story and to capture the moments you never want to forget.

Whether you’re celebrating a new beginning, a milestone, or simply the beauty of right now – we’re here to bring your vision to life.
